Ulcerative Colitis, Motherhood & Me

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode talks about intrusive thinking, OCD and compulsions. I also talk about bullying and past trauma. I open up about my experience of having OCD and how I have internalised it for most of my life. Note: I meant to say 1.2% when I talk about the statistics! Apologies.

A late night episode where I talk about my experience of being a nurse in the midst of a global pandemic, and my worries for the mental health of Frontline workers once the pandemic is over.

**TRIGGER WARNING** contains details of childbirth, maternal mental illness and mental health issues. Please proceed with caution if any of these elements affect you. I talk about my experience with maternal ill health following a traumatic delivery and early days as a new parent and my mental health recovery.

This segment is my introduction to the podcasting world. I talk about my existing blog and associated media. I will briefly (I like to talk!) speak about how I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and the impact it had on me as a new mum and the impact it had on my mental health. I also talk about how I aim to use my experiences to reach out and help others.
